What I notice about people who are gifted in filmmaking is that they're great thinkers. They engage with big ideas and they engage with people.

I'm not tortured and neurasthenic - I'm really not.

I do get stopped on the street, although rarely. And they always have something lovely to say.

I find it weird that people want to know about you.

I think that sometimes in theater, I don't prepare much beyond going to the rehearsals.

I wish that the arts were better supported, and you can't say that enough times, but I also believe that whatever happens, artists will keep going.

When you have a character to work with, you carry them around in a strange way - they make you look at the world in a different way.
